Recently, I went for a photo walk, courtesy my school, to Kashmiri Gate. We also visited st. James church along with Nicolas cemetery. The cemetery was the first place we visited, it was brimming with history. The cemetery had graves of many people who had expired during the British rule in India and after. Some graves were recent, some were old. What was sad to see was the fact that most people died at very young ages. Most between the ages of 20-30. Many graves were very well carved and had beautiful motifs on them.

Next we went to the Kashmiri Gate, on our way, we observed a mosque that was literally built on the roof of a shop. The architecture was Islamic but it was very beautiful . Before we went to the Kashmiri Gate, we visited this garden, where we observed many monuments, that were built by a previous ruler at the time. There was also a house, that really looked like a gate away cottage.

Then, we visited the kashmiri gate, though it had been reconstructed it still looked like a beautiful archway.

Our last stop was St James church. A beautiful yellow church built by Sir Skinner and his family. The mosaic on the glass windows of the church were beautiful beyond doubt. Truly the visit was an excited and captivating experience.
